Remember the days just a year ago. Android was not nearly as present as it is today, and maybe put in some aspects even in its infancy. But 2011 brought major breakthroughs for Android. The system was suddenly society-rated (that is also normal consumer had at one time interest) and there was also the first devices to the iPhone could make technically competitive.

I remember very well: 2010 - I refused to buy an iPhone (it was just way too expensive) and bought my first Android Phone (HTC Magic). Two weeks later I sent it back and bought me an iPhone. Android was just not there yet. There were not nearly as many apps as the iOS Store (then about 21000). But that should change 2011th It has created a system that all the remaining target group in addition to the iPhone owners (- fans) who had an interest in a smartphone with apps etc finally delivered to the devices. Meanwhile, there are 580 000 in the Android Market, according to Wikipedia apps, while the iOS Store "only" 500,000 romp. Alone illustrates the growth of Android. According to Google alone for Christmas Day this year, 3.7 million Android devices have been activated

Rapid growth for the Android System 2011
The market share of the popular Apple phones has dropped this year from 27% to 22%. Reason for the rapid spread of Android smartphones is the one that can compete with the iPhone, but it is also much cheaper than the iPhone.
Another reason could be that Apple with his keynote address at which they have "only" presented an iPhone 4S, has disappointed many people (like me), so that now looking back at some of the competition. Because a switch from the iPhone 4 on the 4S is probably only true fanboys in question.

Android also sells a lifestyle
Or install a lot more manufacturers of smartphones, the Android.
The feeling of life. Probably a major reason to buy an iPhone. But also provides a way of life, the Android system: one feels freer than the Apple owners:
The App Market is open to all Apps need not wait to be unlocked-at the Market.

It requires no additional software to get music or pictures onto Smartphone

The highly customizable home screens with which really can make pretty things on which are also useful widgets can still pass

Android smartphone can play a lot more multimedia formats (eg Flash, avi, etc.).

Free choice of equipment: for almost every taste and budget, there is a matching device, while Apple still has the choice between the predecessors but the selection is generally much smaller.


For iOS but perhaps the more stable system and is naturally protected from attack.

Android also the winner of 2011?
Jain. Android has managed to position itself in each case on the market and this year more than any other before. And when I see the advantages, I have always found an Android smartphone that I like to 100%. As one irritates me more Windows Phone. Although there is currently so this looks rather bad, as far as the interests of users. Ultimately, everything is well and remains a matter of faith.

I'm curious what the new year awaits us all! Siri probably a competitor in the Android system, making it even less would be an argument for Apple. The next year will show that Nokia stands or falls with his decision to put Windows. WebOS and can finally win an Open Source market share? Samsung creates it to place its new system, "Bada" on the market? And Apple can impress us with innovation after Steve Jobs is dead? My greatest hope lies in design innovation, so that brings us the year 2012 simply good-looking smartphone. One thing is certain: the battle in the next few years will continue.
